"It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life" -- Mickey Mantle
"There is an epidemic failure within the game to understand that is really happening. This leads people who run Major League Baseball teams to misjudge their players and mismanage their teams. I apologise." -- Moneyball (2011)
"Your goal shouldn't be to buy players. Your goal should be to buy wins. In order to buy wins, you need to buy runs."
"People overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality."
"Because everyone else in baseball undervalues them like an island of misfit toys."
"He answers to no one except ownership and God. And he doesn't have to answer to us. We makes suggestions, he makes decisions."Tentu saja ada kekalahan setelah itu. Namun, poinnya di sini adalah insting, value, dan keyakinan Beane untuk tidak kalah lagi. Misfit toys itu kini berada di pulau yang tepat.
"Baseball isn't just numbers. It's not science. If it was, anybody could do what we're doing, but they can't."
Pete: This is a hard move to explain to people. Billy: Why is that a problem, Pete?
"I don't think we're asking the right question, I think the question we should be asking is, do you believe in this thing or not?"
"You don't do that with a bunch of statistical gimmicks."
I'm just a little bit caught in the middledan Billy Beane pun belajar menikmati permainan hidupnya. Meskipun ia bukan 'pemain baseball tersukses di eranya' atau 'highest paid general manager in the baseball history'.
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
